Toyota i-Swing

So you don't want to cycle to work, but you have nowhere to park the car when you get there. Motorcycles are too dangerous, so how about the Toyota i-Swing?

This is Toyota's personal mobility device, which sits up on 2 parallel wheels most of the time, balancing itself and turning as you lean, much like the Segway. There's a 3rd wheel in there somewhere for slow manoeuvres, I think. It looks both funky and nutty, and I'll bet it's fun to drive, but I'll also bet on a high price tag.

I think it needs a bit of a roof.
